Youth Teams

High School Team Fall 2026

BCR Juniors High School Rowing Team offers competitive training and regional racing opportunities for athletes in 9th through 12th grade. No rowing experience is required to join the high school team; our professionally certified coaching staff will teach you everything you need to know. The high school rowing team is open to all athletes who are willing to work hard, attend practices consistently, and contribute positively to the team.

​

Rowers are expected to attend and participate fully in all practices, which will include on-water workouts, erg training, running, and general fitness training. Rowers will be training for the 5000-meter race distance and will travel to several regional races. Rowers will be eligible for participation in regattas at the coaches’ discretion based on fitness, skill, effort, and practice attendance.
